Translation: Zheng Xuanzi Kangcheng, is a native of Gaomi in Beihai. His eighth-generation ancestor, Zheng Chong, was the scholar of Emperor Han Ai.

When Zheng Xuan was a teenager, he was a small official in charge of litigation and tax collection in the countryside, and whenever he went home from vacation, he always had to go to school to read model shirts and eliminate books, and he was not happy to be a small official. His father was angry many times because of this, and he could not forbid him. So he went to the capital to study in Taixue, and worshiped the fifth yuan of Jingzhaoren as a teacher, so that he was proficient in "Jingshi Yi", "Gongzhu Spring and Autumn", "Three Unified Calendars", and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

He also learned "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites", "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", "Han Poems", and "Ancient Texts and Books" from Zhang Gongzu of Dongjun. Because there was no one in Shandong who could question the difficulty, he went west to enter the customs, and after the introduction of Lu Zhi of Zhuo County, he worshiped the wind and horses as a teacher.

Zheng Xuan once followed the famous Eastern Han Dynasty scholar Ma Rong to study ancient scriptures, and then came out to study for more than ten years, grasping the source of scriptures, distinguishing academics, examining the origins of the source, and spending a lot of energy to sort out the chapters, coherent articles, and determine the arrangement. To this end, he searched for various theories, carefully examined the similarities and differences, summarized and judged, and did a lot of meticulous work. There are Confucian classics such as "Mao's Poems", "Zhou Yi" and "Analects".

The family collection has more than 10,000 volumes of scriptures, most of which are mainly Confucian scriptures.

However, "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Zheng Xuan" said that "all the books that he likes are corrupt". Zheng Xuan included the canons, synthesized hundreds of schools, and paid attention to the group scriptures, breaking the boundaries between modern and ancient texts, and achieving the integration and unity of scriptures. Zheng Xuan's annotated scriptures, which represent the highest academic achievements of the Han Dynasty, are known as "Zheng Xue", which has had an extremely far-reaching impact on later generations of classics.

In 647 A.D. (the twenty-first year of Zhenguan), Zheng Xuan sailed in the twenty-two "ancestors" and enjoyed the Confucian Temple.

In 1078 A.D. (the first year of Yuanfeng), Zheng Xuan was posthumously awarded the title of Gao Mibo, and he was still suspected of worshiping Confucius Temple.
